"He sought my pity, but had he any right to pity?" I believe the answer to this question is no. "I wanted to go home to my mother. I knew what my father would say in his inflexible severity. But my mother.. She would look at me with other eye." This is the words from the selfish soldier. Did he ever think about how the Jew felt when these words were coming out of his mouth? Did he think of the fact that the Jew he's talking to most likely hasn't seen his mom or dad in a very long time, not knowing if their even alive anymore.
"Look, those Jews died quickly, they did not suffer as i do- though they were not as guilty as I am." How could he have the nerve to say the Jews didn't suffer? Their suffering was through their everyday life. The Jews suffered a lot more than this soldier could even imagine: not eating for days, working until their bodies literaly quit, being beat by the soldiers if they did anything wrong, and the scariest of all, being shot or gassed when they least expected it. The Jew deffantly suffered.
